Season end: 24

In: 24, Television

Well thank god 24 ended last night.  This season was the worst fall from grace any show has suffered and last night’s two hour episode was a microcosm of the season.  Plot lines that make no sense or that we simply don’t care about.  Really, do you care that Milo loved Nadia or that Chloe [...]

The ho-hum Race

In: Television, The Amazing Race

The Amazing Race ended Sunday with a whimper and controversy.
To recap - the 3 teams left had to fly from Barcelona to Paris at the beginning of the episode.  They ran around in Paris - with Lyn and Karlyn making up significant time by picking the better airport and flight.  After running around Paris, they [...]

About this blog

Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above.
